it is no secret that the obama administration has been criticized for adopting a negative attitude toward business, which i believe contributes to some of the economic problems we've observed over the last several years. there's significant uncertainty in the private sector, and many within the business community are wary of the obama administration's predisposition to have the government intervene in the free market and its failure to adopt pro-growth policies. i believe we must have a cabinet official who is strongly committed to economic expansion, trade promotion, and policies that strengthen our competitiveness. so, i look forward to hearing ms. pritzker discuss her priorities with respect to these issues. i am particularly interested in hearing about ms. pritzker's experiences serving on the president's council for jobs and competitiveness. i'm also interested in ms. pritzker's views on making more federal spectrum available for commercial use. the commerce department is uniquely situated to play a role in this matter, particularly with one of its agencies, the national telecommunic
